I saw that post but I'm still wondering if Jinro was refering to Iloveoov or himself XD well only jinro knows

Go Jinro!! Punch a hole through that wall of koreans!

Ok, I'm Chinese and I think I can explain why some Chinese SC2 players call Jinro the Muscle Man.
I don't know how to pronounce the word "Jinro" , but most Chinese read it like "Jean-Row", which sounds pretty similar to the Chinese phrase "筋肉" ,which means "muscle". For this reason China guys like calling Jinro "筋肉男" (the muscle man)and even "魔鬼筋肉男" (the devil muscle man)
BTW, Yi Jianlian, the most famouse Chinese basketball player with the possible exception of Yao, got the same nick name of "devil muscle man" after getting hard training in Milwaukee Bucks.

Lol well if they call Yi Jianlian "muscle man", its definitely not because Jinro is considered buff then.

Actually from what I've heard so far they call him the 'swedish thor', not the scandinavian thor.
|
lmao muscle man and Scandinavian Thor. Muscle Man > Gorilla terran xD

Everyone there is paid in friendly man warmth and confort. Heroes only need that.

You seems like a great person and play for that part! Congratulations!
|
I like the way that oGs/Liquid are referring to themselves as the same team.
It's pretty damn awesome, and I feel reallllly privileged to be part of the budding SC2 community to be inspired by all this foreigner action. I don't post here much and most likely am coming off as just another sc2 scrub that's decreasing the signal to noise ratio here on TL, but I want to say a massive thanks and congratulations to Jinro, TeamLiquid and the entire pro sc2 "foreigner" community for being so damn inspiring and awesome.

they really see themselves as almost a single team is funny. this picture impressed me the most:

I'm curious as to how TheStc keeps up with the current metagame given his service time. Is he still playing tons of games or is he that good? There are different ways to serve out your mandatory military service. Although the most common is to live on a military base (barracks lol!) for two years (in which case you would not be able to play at all), under certain circumstances, such as physical health, place of residence, or just pure luck, you can be a 상근예비역 or 공익요원 (there are also other ways to serve out your term.. but let's not get into that ). The former means you join the army, but you commute from home, so while all the other poor kids are stuck in the barracks, you get to go home at 6pm (or was it 5?). The latter are the true chosen ones, you get to work in the public sector, (ie for the government). Both mean you have lots of free time once you get back home to play as much SC2 as you want. In fact, thestc is still a very active participant in Gisado's KOTH tournament (I think he was the leader in wins for the month of November actually).. which is how he keeps up to speed. Actually the true chosen ones are the ones who get out of serving at all! (hate those mofos ) [edit] Forgot the most important part! Go Jinro! Down a bottle of soju if you win!!! That will definitely get you a private sponsorship from Jinro the company!
Actually, wouldn't they be the true "unchosen" ones? =) Thanks for the insight, btw.
